After the house is spotless she gets to the flyers. Looking through them all and clipping out her needed coupons for shopping that day. Putting her collected coupons in an envelope, grabbing her purse and keys Brenda was out the door and to the store being in a rush since she took longer then she anticipated. Moving through the grocery store as fast as possible missing a few items she needed but was able to make it through the check out isle and back to her home right before her kids. Later that night when talking with her friend, she was suggested a new website that had saved her a lot of money. Curious about this suggestion, after the phone call Brenda looked the site up and noticed that a competing grocery from what she went to, down the street, was having a sale. Looking at the items she realized she could have saved more money then what she did with the coupons just by going to the sale and saved time to boot.
